Monday, Sept. 21st

 We made it! The kids had a great time on the bus and were welcomed by waving, friendly counselors as we pulled in. After getting all the luggage of the bus, the kids went into the field for a few quick games and also met their field group leaders. Next, they enjoyed a lunch of cheeseburgers, french-fries and watermelon. After lunch they brought their luggage to the cabins and headed right out for their first field group experience. Will post again tonight!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

              The countdown is on! We leave in just two short weeks! We are looking forward to another great week at Outdoor Classroom.  The experiences the students have and the memories they will make will truly last a lifetime. Some important information:

•        All registration forms are online this year at Outdoor Classroom Registration Forms must be filled out ASAP, but by Monday, Sept. 14^th at the latest. The link has been posted on ParentSquare.
•        We will be leaving Monday, Sept. 21^st from Great Woods Road (Entrance to Lynn Woods) Please arrive between 8:15-8:30am. Students DO NOT go to Aborn that morning.
•        We will return on Friday, Sept. 25th to the same parking lot. We should arrive between 1:30-2:00.   Mrs. McIsaac will send out a message when we are about 30 minutes from home.        
•        Please refer to the attached packing list while packing for camp. It is very important to have a raincoat or poncho because the students will be outside rain or shine! Also, don’t forget a pillow and sleeping bag or blanket.
•        If your child will be bringing medication, it MUST be in the original containers (prescription or over the counter.) Prescription medications must have your child’s name and dosing printed on the label. Outdoor Classroom has basic medications such as Tylenol, cough drops, tums, etc. We need to collect all medication Monday morning so do not pack it in luggage. Medications will be given to the nurse upon arrival and returned to us before leaving on Friday.

Thank-you,

Mrs. Hennessey

Mr. Belliveau

Friday...Coming Home!

This morning there was another delicious breakfast of eggs, turkey sausage, and home fries along with yogurt, fruit and cereal. The students had one final field group after packing and cleaning the cabins. Then is was back for a quick lunch of pizza and caesar salad. The bus arrived and we are on our way! Estimated time of arrival is about 2:20 in the same location that we departed from on Monday.

Thursday Afternoon and Evening

 Lots of options at lunch today! Sloppy Joe's, sweet potato fries, full salad bar, fresh fruit, and lemonade. Afternoon classes included wild wellness, canoe making, civilization making and building a geodome. After a very wet afternoon, we had free time in the cabin to dry off and change. Dinner was delicious! Pulled pork, corn on the cob, grilled broccoli and cauliflower, and a full salad bar with brownies for desert. After dinner was skit practice for Thursday Night Live followed by our last quiet sing then back to the cabins to pack. Home tomorrow!

Thursday Morning

 Well the rain finally came! Up until now we have only had some sprinkles here and there. Last full day today and everyone is doing great! All those ponchos and rain coats will come in handy today. After a big breakfast of french toast sticks, chicken sausage, yogurt, fruit and cereal, the students went with their field groups for more team building and fun games. Then they will have lunch and a little bit of free time. 

Wednesday Hike and Evening Activities

 During the hike, students explored and observed different types of wildlife. They added a rock to a rock design that has been there and growing since the Camp Cody opened in 1926. After the hike, the girls made friendship bracelets together and the boys started straightening up their cabin. Dinner was teriyaki chicken, rice, broccoli, and edamame. A vegetarian and gluten free option was also available as well as the salad bar. Evening activity tonight was a science fair with lots of cool experiments. The night ended again with quiet sing.

Wednesday Morning

 After a breakfast of eggs, chicken sausage, hash browns, yogurt, fruit and cereal, the students prepared themselves for a day of hiking in the woods with their field groups. They prepared their own brown bag lunches to bring with them and have been doing a wonderful job of setting the table, serving, and helping to clean up after their meals! They will be out on their hiking adventures until about 3:30-4:00. Will update again later.
